GNACC Education Committee

The mission of the GNACC Education Committee is to foster relationships between businesses, educators, schools and their students in order to bridge the gap between education and businesses within the community.  By empowering these connections, we aim to help students find something they can be passionate about. Opportunities such as mentoring, internship programs and educational workshops offered by Chamber businesses and community leaders will assist them in developing the skill set and behaviors needed to be successful in pursuing a career path. The committee refers all proposed programs, and new events to the Board of Directors for approval prior to inception of new activities.
 
The GNACC Education Committee hosts workshops and seminars.   Sponsorship Opportunities available, please email membership@norwichchamber.com or call (860) 887-1647 for more details.
